You’ve probably heard this many times: what you eat can affect how healthy your skin is. We ask nutritionist Dr Tan Sue Yee to enlighten us on the truth behind this common belief.

Dr Tan Sue Yee: “The food we eat nourishes our skin by providing it with the necessary nutrients for skin repair and regeneration, as well as the overall maintenance of a healthy complexion. A diet rich in good sources of whole grains, protein, fat, and fruits and vegetables is essential for healthy skin. Conversely, a diet predominantly made up of processed and unhealthy fatty foods is linked with skin that looks less desirable.”
